25
Q

The most common congenital limb deficiency is _____

A

left terminal transradial deficiency

26
Q

Fitting for the first prosthesis for unilateral limb deficiency should occur when:

A

when the child can sit unassisted (usually 6-7 months)

27
Q

for unilateral limb deficiency, a more terminal device is provided around _____

A

11-13 months when the child begins to walk, performs some grasp and release activities, and has attention span of > 5 mins.

28
Q

What is the typical initial transradial prosthesis comprised of

A

self-suspending design with supracondylar socket and a hand which is preferred by parents.

29
Q

The _____ procedure reconstructs the forearm and creates a sensate prehensile surface for children with absent hands by separating the ulna and the radius in the forearm.

A

Krukenberg procedure

  • rarely used with unilateral conditions due to dramatic cosmetic appearance
  • indications include absent hands and visual impairment.
30
Q

For transhumeral deficiency, fitting occurs when?

A

slightly later than transradial in order to achieve optimal results. A transhumeral prosthesis can be more of an encumberance to the infant

31
Q

terminal devices are often issued when?

A

when a child begins to walk.

32
Q

amputation revision is required in ____% of upper extremity limb deficiencies

A

10%
amputation revision

examples:
- radial club hand
- ulnar club hand
treatment is directed at centralization of the hand and reconstructing the thumb.

33
Q

What is the Vikke procedure?

A

attaches a toe to the residual limb.

34
Q

The higher the ______ the less likely the child will accept a prosthesis

A

higher the limb absence

transradial patients wear their prostheses more than transhumeral patients

35
Q

_____ is the most common lower limb congenital deficiency. Bilateral occurs ____% of the time

A

fibular longitudinal deficiency (fibula hemimelia)

25% - unilateral creates a problem with limb length discrepency

36
Q

If leg length inequality is severe with regard to congenital limb deficiency, a ____ procedure may be performed

A

symes amputation - fitting of a symes prosthesis.

37
Q

_____ is the most common complication after amputation in the immature child.

This occurs most frequently on the ______

A

Terminal overgrowth at the transected end of the long bone

occurs most frequently on the
1. humerus
2. fibula
3. tibia
4 femur
(in order)

38
Q

What are three complications associated with pediatric acquired amputations?

A
  1. bone spur formation
  2. development of adventitious bursae
  3. stump scarring requiring socket modifications
39
Q

Name 3 advantages and 2 disadvantages of intra-operative prosthetic fitting of pediatric LE acquired amputations:

A

Advantages:
1. allows amputee to begin walking soon after surgery
2. Decreased edema and calf pain
3. good candidates include teenagers or young adults undergoing amputation for a tumor

Disadvantages
1. Weight-bearing restrictions and activity restrictions may put the stump at risk
2. poor candidates for this procedure include young children who do not understand restrictions, immunocompromised children, and kids with insensate limbs or infections.

40
Q

Amputees preserve their energy expenditure by ____

A

decreasing their walking speed.

41
Q

The older the child is at time of amputation, the greater the chance of _____

A

phantom pain, especially after age 10

42
Q

The most common cause of pediatric acuired amputation is _____

A

trauma, occurring two times more frequently than disease-related amputation.

43
Q

Most common type of acquired pediatric amputation?

A

90% single limb loss with 60% involving the lower extremity

Boys affected 3:2

44
Q

The most frequent disease related cause of pediatric amputation is ____

A

tumors. highest incidence of malignancy occuring in the 12-21 age group.

45
Q

____ and ____ are the most common pediatric cancers that could lead to amputation

A
  1. Osteogenic Sarcoma
  2. Ewings sarcoma
46
Q

Aside from tumors, what are the 3 other disease related acquired amputation sources in kids?

A
  1. Vascular insuffiency - gangrene
  2. Neurologic disorders - neurofibromatosis with associated non-union of fracture
  3. emboli from meningococcemia may cause auto-amputation of limbs or digits and can affect all four limbs.
47
Q

Varus foot, short leg, unstable knee, ankle, or both. Pathology?

A

longitudinal transtibial deficiency.

48
Q

treatment of choice for longitudinal transtibial deficiency?

A

knee disarticulation.

49
Q

30% of partial tibial deficiency occurs in ______ inheritance pattern

A

autosomal dominant

50
Q

What is important in partial tibial deficiencies?

A

if the tibial segment is long enough, the surgeon creates a synostosis with the intact fibula and amputation of the foot. This provides a stable walking surface for the child without a prosthesis.

51
Q

longitudinal deficiency of the femur is also known as _______ and occurs in 1 per _______ births
____% are bilateral

A

partial proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD)

1 per 50,000
10-15% are bilateral

52
Q

What is the typical position of the femur in partial proximal femoral focal deficiency?

A

it is a longitudinal deficiency of the femur

typically is short, held in flexion, abduction, and external rotation.

53
Q

70-80% of proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) also have _______ deficiency

A

fibular

54
Q

severe forms of proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) require ______

A

fusion of the shortene femur to the tibia
removal of thef ot (symes amputation)
residual limb will accept appropriate above the knee prosthesis

55
Q

what is a van ness rotation?

A

treatment of proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) in which simulation of below-knee function is achieved by rotating the foot by 180 degreesso ankle motion can control the prosthesis .

56
Q
  1. The lower limb prosthesis is fit in child with deficient limb when?
  2. normal heel-to-toe gait does not develop until:
  3. prosthetic heel-strike to toe off gait is not attained until ______ or when the child can demonstrate sustained one-legged standing
  4. a knee joint is usually added as early as ______
A
  1. when he or she is ready to pull up to standing position at 9-10 months.
  2. 2 years
  3. 5 years
  4. 18 months
57
Q

1/3 of limb deficient children using a patellar tendon bearing prosthesis develop _____

A

patellar dislocation

58
Q

Prostheses need to be replaced every _____ on the growing child

A

15-18 months

59
Q

Performing joint disarticulations preserves
